Based on previous years, HostGator typically extends its Black Friday event through Cyber Monday, wrapping up its biggest discounts of the year at that point. Still, if you missed the early deals, Cyber Monday is usually your last chance to grab those savings before prices return to normal.
Expected 2025 Sale Dates
If HostGator sticks to its usual schedule, the sale will start on Saturday, November 22, 2025, and run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. So you can expect roughly ten days of discounts, exclusively at hostgator.com, on hosting and related services before things reset to regular pricing.
Typically, How Deep Are the Discounts?
HostGator’s holiday pricing is known for being some of its lowest of the year. In 2024, discounts reached up to 79% off select hosting plans, and similar numbers are expected for 2025, likely between 75% and 79% off.
The discounts generally apply to the first billing term, whether that’s 12, 24, or 36 months. The longer the commitment, the lower your monthly rate will be. When the initial period ends, renewal pricing returns to standard rates, but the upfront savings can still be substantial if you’re just getting started or running a short-term project.
What Plans Are Likely to Be Discounted?
Cyber Monday 2025 should feature the same plans that appeared in HostGator’s Black Friday lineup. Based on last year’s pricing, here’s what you can expect:
-
Hatchling Plan: The entry-level plan, perfect for one website. In 2024, it dropped to $2.75 per month (renewing at $10.99). It included a free SSL certificate and unmetered bandwidth.
-
Baby Plan: Great for multiple sites. Priced at $3.50 per month last year, renewing at $16.49.
-
Business Plan: Built for heavier use, with added perks like a dedicated IP and SEO tools. Last year’s sale brought it down to $5.25 per month, renewing at $21.99.
All of these rates were available for the maximum 36-month term. Shorter terms usually cost more per month, even during the sale.
Extra Products and Add-ons
HostGator often goes beyond just shared hosting during its big seasonal promotion. Past events have included markdowns on:
-
WordPress Hosting
-
VPS Hosting
-
Dedicated Servers
-
Website Builder Packages
-
Domain Names
Some plans even included a free domain for the first year, provided you chose a 12-month plan or longer. Keep in mind that add-ons like email hosting, site security, or automated backups may also be discounted but aren’t always bundled automatically.
Important Details Before You Buy
A few extra things to keep in mind if you’re planning to buy during the Cyber Monday extension:
-
Refund Policy: HostGator typically includes a 45-day money-back guarantee for shared hosting.
-
Add-ons: Certain features like professional email, backups, and extra security may need to be purchased separately.
